Alan William Harrington Rayment (29 May 1928 — 27 October 2020) was an English first-class cricketer and social worker.
After retiring from playing, he held a number of occupations, most notably as a senior social worker for West Sussex County Council.
Two months later, Eagar wrote to Finchley's secretary and Rayment's parents to request a meeting, in which he was offered a two-year contract to play for Hampshire.
[2] He made his fourth and final century in 1955 against Somerset, which was arguably his most notable due to the difficult batting conditions at Weston-super-Mare.
[8] Rayment was Hampshire's last professional to have solely played in three-day first-class matches, before the introduction of List A one-day cricket.
[9] From the 1940s to the late 1950s, Rayment and his wife, Betty, ran a dancing school in a hotel adjacent to Northlands Road.
[11] His missionary work was short-lived and he did not accept the head coach role at Lord's, with Rayment instead turning to teaching history, English, scripture and games Princes Mead prep school in Winchester, before setting up an estate agents business in Southampton, which he sold in 1965 to retrain as a community worker at Westhill College in Birmingham.
[5] His second marriage to Joan De Torre lasted until her death in 2005, with Rayment spending his final years with his partner, Elizabeth Lloyd.
